Innovation, expertise and strategies for a successful pension transition

Create the future of pensions 

Pensions

The ‘Wet Toekomst Pensioen’ (Wtp) places flexibility, transparency and long-term sustainability of the pension system at its core. The introduction of the Wtp requires employers to rethink their pension scheme so that it aligns with the wishes of their employees. Pension funds aim for a future-proof operation of that scheme. And external service providers are preparing for optimal implementation. 

At PwC, we understand the complexity of this transition because we advise every type of organisation in the chain. Whether it concerns designing a pension scheme for employers, setting up steering mechanisms for pension funds or developing a target operating model for outsourcing partners: our innovative services support you at the key decision points for the pension management of the future. Do you have questions or need specific support? Get in touch for expert advice and personal guidance. 

Listen to the podcast ‘Pensioen Inside’ 

In our podcast series Pensioen Inside, experts share practical tips and insights on how employers, pension funds and administrators can prepare in today’s rapidly changing context. Each episode offers valuable support and available tools for a smooth transition to the Wtp.

Employers

A robust pension policy helps employers attract and retain talent in a competitive market. The Wtp offers opportunities to further optimise existing pension schemes. Effective stakeholder management is essential in this respect. 

We help you make your pension policy attractive to employees within the legal framework, so that employee satisfaction can increase. Our experienced advisers guide you towards a future-proof benefits package at an appropriate cost level.

Pension funds

As a result of the Wtp, almost all organisations must adjust their pension scheme and administration systems. Pension funds will have to deal with new schemes agreed by social partners as well as changes due to (partial) outsourcing of services. Pension funds are tasked not only with making a successful transition to the Wtp, but also with taking the lead within this new context from day one. 

We support you in managing a controlled transition and in designing and operating a future-proof pensionfund under the Wtp. Thanks to our in-depth expertise and broad involvement in the market, we connect your organisation to the latest developments in both the pensions sector and the (international) financial services industry.

Outsourcing partners

The introduction of the Wtp has a direct impact on outsourcing partners such as administrators, governance support providers, fiduciary managers and asset managers. They must reassess strategic questions and align them with the new legal and tax requirements. This calls for in-depth knowledge and experience at the interface between pension technical expertise and organisational science. 

We work with you to ensure that your organisation can operate effectively within the new system and make the most of market opportunities: from defining the right strategic direction, translating it into organisational design, service portfolio and strategic workforce planning, to delivering impactful change programmes.
